About DVD software types and the conversion method
DVD software can be divided into two types: film-based software and video-based software.
Video-based software is derived from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and displays images at
25 frames/50 fields (30 frames/60 fields) per second. Film-based software is derived from film
and displays images at 24 frames per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film.
In order for these images to appear natural on your screen when output in progressive format,
the progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are
watching.
Notes
• When you play video-based software in progressive signal format, sections of some types of images may
appear unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
jacks. Images from the S VIDEO OUT and LINE OUT (VIDEO) jacks are unaffected as they are output in
the normal (interlace) format.
• If you set “LINE” in “SCREEN SETUP” to “RGB,” then the player switches to “NORMAL
(INTERLACE).” This will happen even though you select “PROGRESSIVE AUTO” or “PROGRESSIVE
VIDEO.”
• When using LINE OUT (VIDEO) or S VIDEO OUT, the picture may appear to flicker each time the
PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel is pressed (Interlace switches to Progressive or vice versa).
